DANG ER Risk of fata l injury due topoi‐
sonous exhaust gases
If th eta ilpipe is bloc ked or suf ficient ventila‐
tion is not possible, poisonous exhaust gases
such as carbon monoxide may enter theve hi‐
cle. This is the case if theve hicle getsst uck
in sn ow,fo rex ample. #
Keep theta ilpipe and the area around
th eve hicle free from snow when the

th eve hicle toensure an adequate sup‐
ply of fresh air. &
WARNING Risk of accident and inju ry
due tobeing under the influence of alco‐
hol and drugs while driving
Driving when under the influence of alcohol
and/or drugs is an extreme lydangerous com‐
bination. Even small quantities of alcohol or
drugs may af fect your reflexe s, perception
and judgment.
The probability of a serious or evenfa ta l acci‐
dent greatly inc reases if you drive when
under the influence of alcohol or drugs. #
Do not drink alcohol or take drugs while
driving, and do not allow an yone todrive who has been drinking alcohol or
taking
drugs. &
WARNING Risk of accident and injury
from ope rating mobile communications
equipment
If yo u operate mobile communication equip‐
ment when driving, you will be distracted
from the traf fic situation. This could also
cause youto lose control of theve hicle.
The probability of a serious or evenfa ta l acci‐

communication equipment when driving. #
Only operate mobile communication
equipment when theve hicle is station‐

ryo ur ow n sa fety, al ways obser vethefo llowing
points when operating mobile communications
equipmen t:
R Obser vethe legal requ irements forth e coun‐
try in which you are driving.
R While driving, on lyoperate mobile communi‐
cations equipment when the tra ffic conditions
permit it. You may otherwise be distracted
from the traf fic conditions and cause an acci‐
dent, inju ring yourself and others. &
WARNING Risk of accident due toove r‐
heated brake sy stem
If yo ure st your foot on the brake pedal during
while driving, the brake sy stem may overheat.
This increases the braking dis tance and the
brake sy stem may evenfa il. #
Never use the brake pedal as a foot re st. #
Do not press the brake pedal and accel‐
erator pedal simultaneously while driv‐
ing. On long and
steep downhill gradients, you should
ch ange down toa lo werge ar in good time. Take
particular no teofthis when driving a laden vehi‐
cle. By doing so, you will make use of the
engine's braking ef fect. This relie vesth e load on

As a result, permanent blocking of the diesel par‐
ticulate filter may occur and fuel may also accu‐
